Easy Natural Hair Styles with Cornrows or Flat Twists

Hey everyone,

I've had an issue on my mind for a couple of weeks now, and it primarily comes down to: easy natural hair styles. I hear a lot of people with natural hair complain that they don't know how to style their hair and it's frustrating. I used to be (sometimes still am) part of that group of styling-challenged people, but the truth is, natural hair styles are limitless. However, if you're like me, then you want to be able to quickly style your hair in 5 minutes or less and have something cute and presentable. I've come to the conclusion that all you need are a few flat twists or cornrows and you're good to go. I'm not very good with cornrows, so I do flat twists most of the time, but feel free to cornrow if you're better with it. And mind you, this cuts across ALL lengths of hair :)

Braided Band (ALL Lengths)
- This consists of just one cornrow or flat twist at the front of your hair, from ear to ear.

Fro Hawk (ALL Lengths)
The beauty of the fro hawk is you can have it one sided or two-sided.
- This consists of two to four (remember this is supposed to be quick and easy) cornrows or flat twists on the side (or both sides) of your hair

Grecian Queen (Medium to Long Hair)
- There are 2 variations of this style: You can have a part in the middle or side of your hair, and do one long flat twist or cornrow from one side in a circle/oval.
